The Kanching Falls

This waterfall is quite near from Kuala Lumpur
and unknown beautiful nature spot. This
place called as Hutan Lipur Kanching in Malay which means Forest Consolation.
This is a good place for families to plan their weekend visits.

It is
located between Selayang and Rawang. It takes around 1 hr if you opt to go by
Public Bus from Central Market. There are nearly 7 waterfalls in this place and
the first one is best suited for families. It is crowded during weekends. One
can plan their picnic spot along the stream.

Waterfall

Kanching
is popular for its seven tier of cascading waterfall, forest trekking,
butterflies, lizards and birds. This is a good visit for nature lovers. It is
a bit difficult to exactly estimate which level ends where. The first tier is
good to visit but not for bathing as the water is a bit dirty with rubbish
thrown.

Second
fall is good compared to first one for bathing and looks like a swimming pool.
But it is always good to have a safety precaution before you go for swim. The
steps are quite steep which make it difficult to visitors to go up.If you plan the trip with kids and elderly
people then it is better to plan up to level 3. Better not to take any eatables
which are much visible. Monkeys from forest might attack for food.

As
you go up each level, the water purity increases and crowd decreases. From level 6 and 7 you can really enjoy the natural
beauty of shiny rocks and tall trees. At
level 7, you can see never ending steps into the jungle..
